Bye Bye Webshots...Sort of!
Well, I lost patience waiting to see if Webshots was going to "come around." I clicked on every pic. "still standing" here on Pet Talk to check out the sites people were using and addressess. I noticed C.C.'s picture posting site was one I had not yet tried, or even heard of. Short story...SUCCESS!! It's not quite as "spiffy" as Photopoint of Webshots...But, you can post on the web, resize down to a thumbnail, edit, crop, transfer, upload in quantities of ten, etc. Only thing is you don't get an address for your alblum site. Viewing is by your email invitation only, I think. Gotta check on that. Anyhow, at least I'm back posting pics, including thumbnails without red x's and my sig. is back up! Here's the site...And thank you C.C.!!!! (Cookies' Mom):)
www.photogra.com
Hmmmmnn??? Can't click onto the above link. But when I type in the same address into the bar, I can connect OK!
Why WebShots won't work on Pet Talk...
We just received this reply from WebShots after inquiring if WebShots photos could be linked to other sites (like Pet Talk)...
Thank you for contacting Webshots!
Our policies have recently changed with regard to linking directly to an image within a Community album.
It is now NOT possible to link directly to an image within a Community album so that the image appears on a website other than Webshots.
Also, you may NOT post a link to the image's location on our servers (e.g. http://community.webshots.com/storag...BgiwVTX_ph.jpg ).
You can, however, post a link to the image as it appears within your Community album (e.g. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...3468yPbBgiwVTX). (Doing this will display the entire WebShots page with their headers and footers around you photo.)
The long and the short of this is simply...
We can NO LONGER link directly to a WebShots photo and have it display on Pet Talk; nor can we link WebShots thumb nail photos on our signatures.
Some of us have tried, with good success (so far) the new site called Photogra.com ~ link:
http://www.photogra.com
It's FREE, and easy to sign up and register for.
Works a lot like WebShots; but does not have as many features. And it's not as easy to change things on an album page.
BUT, as we speak, the photos you store on Photogra DO link and display on Pet Talk; and can be used in your Signature :).
Example: our Cinder & Smokey thumbnail in full size...

This seems to be a *BIG* as they get :(.
Give Photogra.com a try - it's one of the few games left in towne :D.
